We are in Las Vegas! After a few months of inactivities, we caught the travel bug and we are travelling again.
Our American Airline flight was delayed for almost an hour. We first flew to Dallas and from there got a connecting flight to Vegas and landed there at 11p.m.
By the time we checked into our hotel, it was well past 1a.m. Since there is a three hours time difference between Toronto and Las Vegas, we were a little concerned that might be this would affect my husband's sleep. But it didn't. Praise God!
We are not gamblers but we still enjoy visiting Vegas as there are a lot of things to see and do for visitors.
On our first day, we walked around the Vegas strip where most of the hotels are located and enjoyed a number of free shows offered in these places.
One of the highlights of all the shows we saw today was the ones at the Circus Circus Hotel theater.
A Hula Hoops performer from Russia did some excellent tricks first with one Hula Hoop, then two, three, maneuvering her body into four, five, and numerous hoops wowing the audiences.
After the Russian hula hoop performer, there were two young Chinese ladies showing off their amazing balancing skills on the unicycles on the stage.
Both ladies started riding around on their unicycles, then placed a few bowls and balanced them on their heads.
Standing from a distance, one of the performers started throwing the stacks of bowls one at a time with military precision towards the other performer.
Amazingly, the other performer caught the bowls with her head and they landed safely on the other pile of bowls that were already being balanced there.
The audience was dazzled and they responded with a thunderous applause to show their appreciation. It was quite a show!
After these fantastic shows, there was a show by a clown who delighted the young children.
Since we are still young at heart, we were entertained as well.
There were many shows scheduled throughout the day at the Circus Circus Theatre. It looked like a great assemble of performers from around the world.
Many people come to Vegas to gamble. There are casinos in all the hotels and gambling machines everywhere.
But you don't have to gamble if you don't want to and can still have lots of fun.
We find the Circus Circus Hotel very family oriented as it offers a lot to families with children and can keep them busy for hours.
We enjoyed ourselves at the midway and took part in some of the arcade games too.
This ring toss game looked easy but it was not. For a dollar, I got ten rings to throw at the glass bottles trying to land one of them into the bottle neck. I couldn't do it but had tons of fun trying!
I wish my family had stayed at the Circus Circus Hotel when we visited Vegas for the first time some twenty years ago. Our children would have enjoyed all the shows at the hotel.
We can look forward to bringing our grandchildren here and sharing the memorable moments and great fun with them!
